Director Walker keeps action flowing at a breakneck pace, using the plot as a jumping off point for furious adlibbing by the entire company, who seem to be enjoying themselves immensely, whether singing, dancing, juggling, shooting play guns, or trying to break each other up, a la The Carol Burnett Show. The sidesplitting humor brings tears to the eyes of the audience too.

The strong cast is led by the smooth understated playing of Walker and the manic Batalla, as well as the energetic, sexy Christine Lakin as Statch, and the Lucille Ball-esque Beth Kennedy as KG. Joel McCrary as Jim and Jackie Seiden as Frankie possess fine singing voices.

Songs are witty, adult, and clever, choreography snappy, and the visual elements like the tricked up bicycles and the ever changing video background shots are hilarious.

Don’t be tardy, however. Latecomers are serenaded with “You’re So Vain” and told they had missed the first number.
